Undergraduate Careers
Graduate career opportunities exist in fields as diverse as finance, films and games, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, consumer products, and public services, virtually all areas of business and society. Increasingly, employers are seeking graduates with high-level computing skills, and the ability to apply them in innovative ways to solve the problems facing their organisations. Employers, from large multinational firms to small local organisations, actively target our students, recognising that Manchester Computer Science graduates are equipped with the skills they need. Organisations across the spectrum recognise that the grounding our students receive in analytical thinking, problem solving, and team working enable them to excel in a whole host of positions, including many that are not traditionally associated with computing graduates.
For us there's nothing more important than seeing our graduates secure the very top jobs in industry and research and go on to long, enjoyable and financially rewarding careers. This section provides a brief overview of how we help our students achieve this, and the kind of positions some of our graduate have moved into.
